Eligibility is restricted: all bidders and any listed subcontractors must be PennDOT pre-qualified, and bidders must demonstrate proof of competency and responsibility under PennDOT Form 408/2016, Change 6, Section 102. No set-aside or local-vendor preference is stated.
The contract covers 18 traffic signal intersections and 7 flasher and warning device locations under PennDOT Publication 191 (12-20). Bidders must staff IMSA Traffic Signal Technician Level II certified personnel or higher, have experience maintaining Peek and Econolite equipment in closed-loop and central control environments, and submit municipal references for that equipment. Response maintenance includes 24/7 emergency service with response intervals from 2 to 72 hours depending on component type, and repair intervals from 24 hours to 30 days. Penalties of $75 per hour apply when response times exceed agreed limits, and the Township may engage alternative contractors at the original contractor's expense if response exceeds eight hours. Work must comply with Pennsylvania regulations, the National Electrical Code, and MUTCD standards.
The term is two years with a one-year Township option to extend at the bid rates. Each bid requires a bid bond of at least 10 percent of the total bid. The Schedule of Prices covers preventive and response labor rates for Years 1 through 3 and equipment hourly rates. Award is based on a formula combining average Years 1 and 2 annual preventive costs with weighted signal technician/electrician and signal mechanic hourly rates. The Board of Supervisors will award the contract at its December 8, 2026 meeting or a subsequent meeting. Bids may not be withdrawn within 60 days after the closing time. The controlling document is the re-bid package dated October 22, 2026, which supersedes the earlier bid documents.
